Cons:

Ontbijt was nogal ongewoon, wie wil er ‘s ochtends zwarte olijven met fèta?

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time here. The hotel is beautiful, charming and perfectly located in Sultanahmet, just a short walk from the main sights. Our room was comfortable and the atmosphere of the hotel made our stay feel very special.
A special thank you to Can, Muhammed and Berk for being so kind, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They were always happy to assist us with anything we needed.
The breakfast was also lovely, especially enjoying it with the beautiful views on the terrace.
We would definitely be happy to stay here again when we come back to Istanbul. Thank you to the whole team for making our trip so enjoyable! ❤️

I recommend Sumengen Hotel to those who want the beauties of Istanbul at their fingertips.
Pros:

The location of the Sumengen Hotel is in the heart of the city that never sleeps, Istanbul, which was wonderful. The hotel staff are amazing, especially Joe and Jan. The fact that the room was split into two separate areas was great for us.

Cons:

The wifi signal was unstable or only worked in the bathroom area.

Good view, excellent value
Pros:

The view from the room, the breakfast, the location. The fact that the hotel had an elevator. Room size was big for a family of 3 adults to fit comfortably.

Cons:

The AC in the room was a bit small for its size and was located in a corner to effectively cool the room. Water bottles not provided daily, only on the first day.
